We don't want refineries to be used in Oklahoma for refining Canadian TransCanada oil that has toxins that are left in our state and not properly disposed of.
We don't want pet coke runoff in our rivers. We don't want the toxic chemicals dumped into the air from refineries refining oil from Alberta Canada. That oil comes through the Keystone pipeline.
We can refine Texas oil that is cleaner and safer. With 20 billion barrels of oil in west Texas we don't need dirty oil from Canada.
Canadian oil is processed by removing harmful toxins and pet coke before it is shipped out. This process produces few jobs. It's dirty. We get the pollution and they ship their oil to other countries to sell. We don't use most of the oil from Canada, and now, after the discoveries in Texas, we don't even need it.
The Keystone was built to be used to transport American oil. But as soon as it was built and the right of ways and eminent domains were ordered in completing the pipeline, TransCanada oil bought it to transport the dirty oil from Canada to ports. This oil is toxic. The process to get the oil in Alberta Canada is enormous in size and is the greatest polluter in the world. The lands will never be reclaimed. The waters will always be unfit to drink. The water kills animals al the time. Scarecrows are set up to scare off animals and birds like it's a joke.
The Canadian government has taken advantage of our laws in order to get the pipeline that wasn't meant for their use.
The rights of American communities and landowners are not supposed to be suspended by our government to benefit a foreign government. Rights were set aside for the Keystone pipeline. Canadian oil doesn't TRUMP our rights in America.
The DAPL is the same thing. It's just another pipeline for the benefit of transporting Canadian sludge oil through our land to a convenient port to ship their product out to other nations. Leaving us with the mess and clean up. And with the toxins. We don't want it!
Our government lied to us about our ability to produce oil in the United States. The government kept the volumes of oil in west Texas a secret. Land was taken. Huge amounts of accessible lands with Permian Basin oil fields were set aside for foreign interests. This helps to keep us dependent on foreign oil.
DAPL and Keystone pipelines help those interests that have already harmed us. That have already cost us thousands of jobs. And helped to keep us dependent on toxic foreign oil. Oil that strengthened their anti American politics and religious rhetoric against freedom. Oil that served to help socialists look stronger in Canada, while politicians in America propagated the supremacy of a socialist medical system in Canada.
A system that our dependence on Canadian oil paid for. How treacherous is that?!
Pipelines in America should be used to transport American oil, only. Period. That will stop the DAPL and Keystone pipelines.
There should also be limits to how much oil is taken by foreign companies out of west Texas Permian Basin fields or Alaska. Regardless of the land they stole from people.
